  Pierluigi explains his "CIA director" comments below in the comments to my comments on his comments to Tim's comments on Pier's original "Five People I'd Like To Meet In Heaven on Tuesdays. " That's a lot of comments. Here's another comment: yes Sandy-Sam might well have ended up Director of the CIA, but he was also seen as a front-runner to head the State Department.
How appalled Thomas Jefferson would be to know that the office he held before anyone else is now given to gnomes like Sandy, foreign gremlin-gnomes like Albright and Kissinger, and to men named Colin (who also happen to be Negroes. ) Where's Warren Christopher when you need him? And, if Sandy did indeed sneak sensitive documents out of the National Archives in his socks isn't that a major reason to make him the spy-master? Also, he only snuck out "copies" of the documents. I guess he wanted to sell his personal notes on security for New Year's Day 2001 with Al Qaeda so they can wreak havoc when they complete their time machine in the mountains of Afghanistan. While I'm on the subject of Sandy Bergergate, let me continue. First of all, I think his smuggling of documents is a complete non-issue. Republican cries of "Natonal Security Crisis" are more pathetic than my attempts at seducing straight men. Also, what is up with the 9/11 commission calling for a "cabinet-level intelligence office? " I am really get sick of people thinking that creating whole new Cabinet offices will somehow fix a problem.
This goes double-time for the Department of Homeland Security. Not only did that let Eddie Munster append the title of Secretary to his name, but it's a joke of an office. The fact is kids, we already have a secretary of "homeland security" and a "national cabinet-level intelligence chief" and she's called the National Security Adviser.
Doesn't it seem obvious to give Condi Rice some real power already? And for anyone who says that she is already too busy handling her duties, the aforementioned foreign gremlin-gnome Henry Kissinger held the post of NSA and was Secretary of State simultaneously . That didn't slow his war criminal career down one bit, now did it? I know I have a crush on Condoleezztello, but she's eighteen times the man Kissinger was. If Bush won't dump Cheney for her, the least he can do is give her more power. And a sensual massage.
